From increased food and gas prices to additional fees from the airlines, it’s even more important these days to watch what you spend when traveling. Even worse, airlines are starting to crack down on carry-on bag sizes and weights. This can mean your old and trusted travel bag may need to be checked during your next flight, adding up to more cost for you. What you need is a new bag.
But being able to replace your luggage is expensive, right? And all travel duffle bags are plain, aren’t they? Not necessarily. There are plenty of affordable travel duffle bags and luggage pieces out there and many are actually pretty stylish (no more boring black bags). Check out a few examples of some travel duffels under $60 that meet carry-on requirements - all with more style than your average black sports bag.

It seems like airlines are adding to their already growing list of fees and restrictions on a daily basis. Not only will you now be charged for things we all took for granted in travel (checking bags, free soda), but there have been news stories published recently that announce airlines’ stricter enforcement of the carry-on size rules. Rather than taking your chances with these new luggage police or potentially paying exorbitant fees for checking bags, why not pack your belongings in a rolling duffle bag that meets carry-on requirements. Not only are they the right size for overhead compartments, but these bags are also convenient for walking through the airport. Plus, some of these wheeled duffels are quite stylish. Check out some examples below:

Wheeled duffels don’t have to be boring, and the one from Liz Claiborne’s Paige collection proves it. Both fashionable and durable, this is the perfect travel bag for a weekend trip. Claiborne luggage is known for its classic style, and this bag is no exception. Every detail has been attended to, from the polished nickel hardware down to the push-button retractable handle.
At only 6 pounds, you won’t find this bag adds much weight to the travel experience, and the tough jacquard construction insures that it will hold up well over time. A fully lined interior helps to protect your nicer clothing from getting snagged, and roller blade-style wheels make moving the piece a joy instead of a chore. Simplifying travel is always a good thing.
The well-known Liz Claiborne print is featured as the design here, gracing the piece with a bit of additional style and making it stand out from the crowd. Color selections include pewter mixed with black, amethyst or emerald. If you prefer, you can also opt for the tan/bronze combination. No matter which you choose, you will be satisfied with your new bag. Who knows…you might just decide that you have to take a little trip to try it out!

If you travel a good deal for business, you may want to look for a bag that has all the features you need, as well as the right look and feel for business. Leather duffels are a popular pick among frequent travelers, and there is a good reason: they are the perfect accompaniment for a work-related trip.
You’ll want to get the best value for your money and there are some things you should look for if you are browsing around for a good pick, as these bags can cost a bit more than your average backpack. Don’t worry though, leather is a quality material and will last a long time.
When looking at specific features, check to be sure the bag is an approved carry on luggage piece for the airlines; the last thing you need is a hassle at the airport before a big business meeting. Organization is another key feature. Keep an eye out for cell phone storage, as well as dividers to house important paperwork or folders. Pen holders are another nice perk. Some well-made bags even have a removable “boarding sleeve” that will hold your identification, and other documentation for travel.
Zippered security pockets are another thing to look for. Finally, mesh pockets can help keep additional items from sliding around or getting lost inside the bag during travel. Remember to keep these things in mind, and you’ll have the perfect business bag for your travels.
